thousand people diagnosed. (Alzheimer’s Australia, 2004) Glenn Rees, Alzheimer’s
Association of Australia states that dementia is “…poised to become Australia’s
number one health issue within the next two to three decades”.

lifestyle choice promotion is recognized through the Ottawa Charter for Health
Promotion as stated by Wass (2000) “…health promotion is not just the responsibility
of the health sector, but goes beyond healthy lifestyle to well being”.
